  • Changing multiple text instances in Pro Emitters…

    Guys,

    I’m really sorry if this has been answered ad nauseum. I’ve really tried hard to search for the answer here, but either I’m just missing it, or I’m not searching using the right words!

    The pro emitter “News Ticker” (as well as some others) has nine text words. I’ve tried various ways to load my own multipe text words into the library to use -multiple layer tifs, pngs, etc.- but I can only get one word (the top layer) to show.

    What am I doing wrong? lol… like I said, I’m sorry if the answer is right in front of my face, but I assure you I’m usually pretty good about finding my own answers… I’ve just missed this time!

    What format file do I need to save it in, or what is the method to do this??

    Thank you so much for your help!

    -John

    Don’t use layers in your image file, just name the images as a sequence ending with a number. For instance:

    image0001.png, image0002.png, image0003.png

    Got it! I’ll try that as soon as I get back to that computer, and since you’re the man with ParticleIllusion, I’ll go ahead and assume that it’s going to work wonderfully!

    I appreciate it, Alan!
